I only saw the last two episodes. It’s kinda like Survivor. It was fun the first season.

I have nothing invested in the show, but Kim showed more design talent.

I didn’t bother watching the earlier episodes. The guy with the long blonde hair got on my nerves, just in the commercials! I saw the episode with Wayne Newton’s guest house a couple of weeks ago, and that was the only one I’d ever seen, before last night’s episode.

What’s funny is that Kim is listed on the website as enjoying design, but is a hair stylist!

I’m glad you brought it up...I had forgotten to delete my car ad. It’s done now.

The old van sold Saturday morning...the asking price was $2000...the guy paid us $1900.00 in bills, $99.75 in rolled change and one car wash token (which was inadvertantly rolled with the change. Heh heh!)

We worked on the Beetle all weekend...got a LOT done. Will update the blog after we finish school for the day.

Wow, that’s a lot of money for the old van! That should help pay for Oz, huh?

Yes indeed!

You should see this car. Everyone that sees it thinks it’s brand new, I’m not kidding. It is positively spotless except for a tiny chip in the windshield and several chips in the front paint, which I am slowly filling in using chip repair paint and a toothpick.

No, I stole it from "Today's Toons." Stole this one too.

Hmm, that is actually my current opinion of Fred Thompson ;-)

Congratulations on selling the van! And for a good price too. You’ve made it sound like it had so many problems I wouldn’t have thought you’d get that much! :~)

I’m now waiting on a guy from Craigslist who I ~thought~ was coming at 8:30 to cut wood.

RIP, indeed! She looked bad at Reagan’s funeral. I’m surprised she lasted this long.

Well, it did have a lot of problems, but amazingly toward the end, I managed to get most of them fixed! Fixed the AC (it just needed refrigerant...who knew?) and the radiator was leaking and we fixed that by cutting off the part that was leaking and just re-attaching it.

The door latch was broken, it had a slight oil leak and the engine light had been on for a couple of years...but it really ran pretty good (once we got the dome light short fixed...it wouldn’t shift out of first gear when the dome light fuse would blow.) And besides the problem with the door latch, the body and paint was in pretty good shape!

The guy that bought it was completely aware of everything and kept saying “I can fix that.”

According to Kelley Blue Book, it was worth 2060.00 but because of the problems, I rounded it to 2000 and he tried to talk me down to 1800 but I held firm (not being in any rush, you know) and he bought it!

You go!

I'm glad it sold so quickly, too.

Two guys showed up and they’re back there cutting and taking little stuff. They want to come back tomorrow to get the big one. They didn’t bring a big enough saw. They cut down that little dead fir already. It almost got interesting because it got hung up in another tree, but they were able to push it down.
